Makayla at 7. This girl has a lot of personality. Where to start….Makayla turned 7 in April right when COVID shut down school and activities. It was a nice distraction and something to look forward to during those changes. Makayla is such a sweet thing. She has a sweet heart and does not like when people are hurt or not feeling well. She started piano this year and is loving it. She is progressing right along and seems to enjoy sitting down and playing on her own with very little pushing from mom. She has continued doing gymnastics and has been doing it for a year and a half almost. She has gone from barely doing cartwheels to passing off her back handspring last week. She is super flexible and getting strong and seems to like it so we will see! We took a break from soccer and signed her up for basketball this year too. She looks like a deer in the headlights most of the time:) She is such a people watcher and gets so distracted trying to soak all the action in that she seems to forget a game in going on. It is too funny.! That little competitive spirit busts out occasionally and she is actually pretty coordinated and feisty when she kicks it into gear. She may just flip a switch and enjoy it a little more someday. For now, she looks cute doing her cartwheels on the court and playing with her ponytails! She gets the biggest grins when she shoots a basket it is super cute. Towards the tail end of her season she really stepped it into gear and its like the game clicked a little bit. She was super determined and her celebrations after baskets was so cute. She was so little and determined to block the big girls and her tiny body would just jump and jump in front of them trying to block them. It was the cutest! It was fun to see her grow so much towards the end! Makayla started second grade this year and has the best teachers. She is. absolutely loving Mrs. Goddard and Mrs. Bybee. She has become cute little friends with a girl name Kenzie at school this year. She has also become an amazing little reader, in the top spelling group in her class, and has surprised me with how well and fast she picks up her math. Makayla has the most creative little brain and seems to be playing all sorts of things in her heard. She seems to be in her own little world sometimes and I wish I could just see what she does. She is one we still have to check on because she tends to get a little mischievous at times. Don’t mess with that is constantly coming out of our mouths. She is such an observant and curious little thing! Makayla stuck gold when we moved to this neighborhood as several girls have moved in since. She LOVES to play with her friends. She is such a social bug. She loves to dance and sing with her friends. They play dolls a lot. She also loves to do crafts with them. Makayla loves to dress up, turn on music, and pretend she is on stage. I am thinking she may enjoy dance or something in performing, like the school play. She can be a little shy sometimes so we will see! Makayla has lost 5 teeth in the last few months and will be toothless for Christmas. She will literally say, “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!” Makayla is an animal lover! She is always toting around stuffed animals. We picked up a bunny around June and she was so excited. It gets a tad cranky, but she is determined to still love on the guy. Makayla brings out the girlie in me. I am such a tom boy and she is quite the opposite. She loves to paint her nails, wear bows in her hair, put on dresses, and makeup. I love to do her long cute hair and she looks just like a little princess. Her and I have our weekly dates to 7-11 to get a treat after gymnastics. She can sure drive her mamma bonkers at times, since she tends to get distracted easily when she is asked to do things. I love our little dates and those opportunities to see her outside of the house and just us. I also love to help her with her gymnastics. She is not always a willing participant and can be quite hard on herself. However, when she learns to do a new trick, her face is priceless. She gets SOOO excited and all the frustrating moments are worth it. We love her little spunky self and the smiles she brings. Her excitement and love for the little things are needed in this house. She get so excited over the tooth fairy and speechless when she talks to Santa. She does not like scary movies and gets nightmares easily. She loves to cook macaroni and cheese by herself and feels so proud of herself when she does. I just love her to pieces and we are so glad we have her to add a dash of sugar and spice to our family!
